EZ Birding at the State Park was plagued by hordes of no-see-ums, but we soldiered on and had many good birds. Highlights include: Blue Grosbeaks, Common and Forster's Terns sitting side by side, Piping Plover with chicks, American Oystercatcher, Common Yellowthroat, Orchard Orioles, and Cedar Waxwings. Leaders: Chuck & Mary Jane Slugg.
